A British company is working on its supercar model that will boast of a 1,000bhp per tonne power-to-weight ratio....yeah, I know you are stumped!!! And, before you draw any comparisons to the MacLaren F1 cars let me tell you that this one thousand brake horsepower supercar is engineered by Ben Scott-Geddes and Graham Halstead, the men behind the MacLaren Formula One cars.

The supercar is completely influenced by the Formula One cars in its styling, suspension and material used and is powered by 2.4-litre V8 engine that delivers 480bhp and a six-speed sequential gearbox is worked by Formula One-style paddles attached behind the steering wheel. The T1 is reckoned to cover 0-60mph in 2.5 seconds and head on to 200mph, with the performance varying depending on whether a customer chooses a more road- or track-oriented set-up.

Halstead ‘believes it be the new benchmark for a road car’ and expect to sell 25 T1s each year at £150,000. The weight of the supercar has been pared down to just 465kg, making it lighter than a Formula One car. The car is expected to run into production at the end of 2006. So, folks, looks like the MacLaren’s have got tough competition from inside...!!!
